Local Stories

Today we’d like to introduce you to Vicky Garcia.

Vicky, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
Since I was a little girl, I have always love to be active and energetic, dancing, played volleyball, tennis , practicing gymnastics, hiking, riding my bike, running, swimming, anything that will involve moving and being active.

I started lifting weights when I was 15 at my local gym in Valencia, Venezuela. And I felt in love with the feeling of getting stronger. I have also love to eat all natural food, anything with artificial stuff. Looooove healthy food. Never liked to eat chips as a little girl or sodas or anything like that. My friends and family always asked me for advice on how to workout and how to eat and love healthy food and I have always enjoyed sharing my thoughts and ways to others and helping them to feel good about themselves by exercising and eating healthy.

Back in Venezuela , I graduated in advertising and marketing. I used to work in an advertising agency 9 to 6 every day but I always find the time to be in my happy place ” the gym ” every day!!!
When I moved to the US, I noticed there were gyms everywhere I felt like I was in heaven, wanted to get a workout in everyone of them and go to the Whole Foods was like going to an amusement park 😉 so my brother brought to me the idea of staying living with him while I get certified to become officially a Personal Trainer and actually get paid doing what I love to do.!!!! SHARING MY PASIÓN FOR FITNESS!!!

I became a Positive Fitness Role Model who motivates and brings a lot of hands-on, personal experience. I’m dedicated to living a FIT and healthy lifestyle, leading by example and love to share my knowledge with others!

My mission is to enhance your quality of life by achieving balance in various aspects such as healthy eating , becoming more active, achieving goals, balancing your mind and body with positive influences and get the body that you have always wanted!!!

I am originally from Venezuela (South America) and I am a mother to Victoria Isabel (10 years old). I have always had a passion for Fitness, Health, and Wellness, which has brought me to where I am today. I received my degree in Advertising and Marketing from Barcelona University, Spain and over the past 14 years I have found the way to follow my lifelong passion — F I T N E S S !!!

I started to train to compete in Bikini Fitness competition 3 years ago and I have won different classes and I am now a National Qualified to compete in Nationals NPC which I will be participating next year!

Do you feel like there are certain traits that increase the likelihood of success?
I care about other people’s wellbeing.

Has it been a smooth road?
I have really enjoyed through my whole career. I had some bumps in the road in my life but fitness as been always my way out of stress and had always given me the strength to continue to do what I enjoy the most!
